Originally played by: Andrew McCarthy Who should play him now: Adam Brody just needs to return to TV already so he can play this rather verbose, wise-cracking writer who "just needs to fall in love" but is secretly in love with the friend he's known for years. Also, he's skinny enough for the role. Other possibilities: Lee Pace of "Pushing Daisies" knows what it means to yearn after a friend, while Ben Foster can do the substance-abusing writer thing convincingly. Jensen Ackles could really bring some biting humor into the role, but then again we suspect he'd bring the magic to everything. And if series executive producer Topher Grace is looking for a part, this might be it. -- Hanh Nguyen, Zap2it.com
